Community Tasting Notes 14

  • glou.sf Likes this wine: 92 points

    December 28, 2023 - The nose needed a bit of air to wake up, which revealed red fruit, a hint of medicinal notes, underwood, pine notes, and berries. Nice acidity with some tannic structure on the palate with flavors of red cherry, strawberry, and some tertiary notes that are just starting to emerge. Good finish. Interesting and well made wine that kept improving throughout the night. It's not super pleasurable right now, but it's likely to continue to evolve. 92+

    November 26, 2023 - My first note was "Emperor = no clothes," which is a little harsh. But we sipped on this all night and even after 6 hours I was asking myself if this was subtle or boring. No one else at the table commented on it.

    January 14, 2022 - Translucent ruby. After 2 hours of air a wafting nose of hothouse violets, steely iodine, fine soil, cinnamon. Layers of iron-laced, pure red fruit on the palate supported by austere, noble velvety tannin and balancing bright acidity. Long finish of berry, earth, and bramble. Pretty darn nice with roast chicken.

  • Cote d'Or Likes this wine:

    January 4, 2020 - Tasted over 3 hrs
    -nearly semi-translucent minimal bricking
    -mild reduction blows off leaving a very pretty red-fruited nose
    -med acidity, med weight and concentration with excellent balance and a surprising power if not a lot of complexity, red-fruited in nature mixed in with some soil mineral notes and a faint medicinal twang that accompanies the med tannins
    -so satisfying, first time with this wine and must say it is impressive now with a lot of upside especially for a 2011, distinctly different (perhaps more structured/powerful) than Lafarge's Volnays though also distinctly different from neighboring Clos des Mouches, #gottaloveburgundyterroir
